Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

Trump: "The Fake News New York Times 'reported' on my Great, PACKED Rally in Ohio that, 'the place was not full.' In actuality ... The Arena was totally MAXED OUT. What does happen at all of my SOLD OUT Rallies, is people tend to migrate down ... I never have empty seats — Never have & never will!"
Trump: "The Fake News New York Times 'reported' on my Great, PACKED Rally in Ohio that, 'the place was not full. Some upper sections were almost completely empty.' In actuality, thousands of people were unable to get in. The Arena was totally MAXED OUT, including all upper sections. What does happen at all of my SOLD OUT Rallies, is that the people in the upper sections tend to migrate down to the Main Floor — The 'migration' process always happens! The Times knows this, and so does everyone else. I never have empty seats — Never have, and never will! Because of their dishonesty, I have cinematographers shooting the various Arenas where I speak, in that some of the Fake News likes to dishonestly report lies and untruths. In actuality, my Events for very good Republican Politicians are probably more crowded than ever. There are no empty seats, there haven’t been for years, and there never will be. The Rallies are 'HOTTER' than ever. They are all 'happenings,' and they never happened before, and will never be duplicated again. The Networks refuse, however, under any circumstances, to show the Crowds, but you can hear the thunderous applause, and know that it represents thousands and thousands of people. Watch tonight, for example, in the Great State of Nebraska, where I’ll be heading soon. See you later! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

The confirmed #measles count in Pennsylvania has topped 1,000. Important to note that confirmed cases make up only a portion of all cases, especially given infections among PA's Amish community probably do not come to public health's attention in many cases. app.powerbigov.us/view?r=eyJrI...

If you ask me the Rams should be embarrassed by the margin, but I guess it’s a stirring victory. 🤷🏼‍♂️ No Devonta, Lane, Zack Baun, Dallas Goedert. Lost Saquon early, Quinyon and Greenard went down in the second half. That’s 7 of the 10 best players. Never seen a team win that way.

ATLANTA — Four days before Zack Wheeler trotted out of the left-field bullpen at Truist Park, he toed the rubber on a rainy Sunday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park.
